    A warm summer evening with a few light ales on the way to and from the game, maybe some food and drink vans in the car park, is infinitely better than freezing in the stand and then walking back to the car in horizontal sleet.

    I think you should change your first name to Isaac.

    You would knowingly make a decision to put the football club in real genuine jeopardy?

    Who would buy it with liabilities like you hanging around its neck?

    Priceless.

    Hard pitches, dehydrated players risk of sunburn. Klopp will definitely push for a mid-summer break.

    Wouldn’t be the club refunding it, would be the card company

    We do not know if there will be a next season.
    We do not know if this season will be completed.
    People don't know if they will have jobs, if the businesses they work for can survive the next few months.
    On that basis a free £20 is barely tempting for something with as much certainty as a scratch card.

    If it was a local members football club no, certainly not. But City is a private business owned by a man allegedly worth £100m. The business would not be in any jeopardy if he stands behind it properly. In my opinion the man needs to take a sh1t or get off the pot.

    As the club is still a viable business then the credit card would recoup the money from the club.

    Mate with respect I love our club but we are owned by a man worth 100m

    Now if the club goes under Mr Rupp will be fine but you won't and you will need your £149.

    I'm hoping the government do more than offer loans to companies and the EFL help out. The sooner we get back to playing football behind closed doors the better. Gillingham owner saying they have two months before they run out of cash and government loan isn't an option.

    I would rather you can feed your family mate than Mr Rupp. Trust me he's fine.

    @Fordy117@Fordy117 at sometime in the future Rupp will be gone probably poorer than when he arrived but if we don’t support the club when asked the club will be gone for good

    It's up to him to support the club.

    If you want to give all you money to Bradford City that's up to you but my advice is think about your table and the food for your family.

    40m is approximately what's required to help clubs with no crowds In the EFL. This isn't the time for super fans. It's the time for the owners, EFL, Pl and the other footballing bodies to help football at all levels.

    Not asking you to sell your Merc just when and if they ask for us to buy tickets time to do so

    Well No!

    The point is Mr Rupp, The PM, The EFL, The PL, The Bookies, The Tv companies.

    All these have to step in before fans. Most of them have benefited from football in many ways and now is the time for them to cover costs.

    The last thing I would suggest to fans is buy a season ticket now. Just like I wouldn't say get Sky Sports now. I would suggest cancelling Sky Sports and keep money in your pocket unless you're spending it on your business.

    Fans needs understand that they might not be watching live football for a while. Behind Closed doors first I think.

    I don't believe that he even acknowledges yet that he has lost money in buying a pig in a poke. The sooner he does that, the sooner he will realise that he won't get his original money back and he will have to inject his own funds into the club to develop it if he wants to recover his original investment. Unfortunately there is no evidence that that is his intention.

    This club even with its overheads is a viable business (at the right price!) and there is no reason to suppose that not buying STs now (rather than prior to the ST deadline) will be a reason for its demise. It might however help to change Rupp's mind about wanting to sell the club at a profit. Unfortunately for Rupp, nobody in their right mind would pay anything like that for a club in the lowest level of pro football with bugger all assets but he doesn't as yet seem to have understood that. If he simply wants the club to tick over, that's up to him and JR. But in the mean time his original investment is just a wasting asset.

    Herr Rupp, du hast die Katze im Sack gekauft!

    No, as I posted if you pay by credit card, and Bradford City stop trading or go into admin or bankrupt you have redress by the bank/credit card provider, I believe if your transaction is over £100.

    Well I am not risking it.

    I just think many other organisations need to step in now and Bradford City need to do fans a favour.

    Pause season ticket sales for the the fans.
